Our next stop was the Grand Canyon. Absolutely beautiful! Pictures are never the same. Our favorite part of the day was hiking down the South Kaibab trail into the canyon. It gave you such a good perspective of how huge the canyon really is. The trail started on the rim and was all downhill, so as we see people coming back up huffing and puffing it made us a little nervous about the way back. It was only 3 miles round trip but the toughest hike we've ever done because of the elevation. From the rim to Cedar Ridge where we turned around was about 1,000 feet drop in elevation. After we finished the hike we rode the shuttle buses to look out points from different places along the rim. Our last stop was dessert view watchtower where you could climb the tower and get great views of the canyon and the Colorado River.
